At My Most Beautiful (26a/27) - (Morgana/Morgause)

[lovepb]

Long ago when the land was new and young, a beautiful maiden lived on the rocky shore of the salty sea. Her name came before the written word and her first breath before humanity had even begun to speak. Many have tried to fasten to her the names of later peoples, trying to make her their own. This foolishness shows that she could never be theirs

Oh yay new chapters!!!

I adored the little story in the beginning--it really felt like a fairy-tale, myth type of story. Very vivid and pretty.

And they are talking! About important issues and communication and I am so happy at how realistic you are making their relationship. And double yay on Morgause telling Morgana about Edwin, even just a little.

Yes on Mithian. Just yes. Perfection.

And BABIES OH MY!!!! Great first part now onto the second. Thank you for keeping up with this story <3

Its actually just one chapter that livejournal said was too long :( So I had to split it into a and b parts.

Thank you! I had requests for Morgause to read something from the book she gave Morgana and I couldn't resist expanding upon my mythology.

I wanted their relationship to be real and have real problems. Anything perfect isn't realistic.

I love Mithian. She's so much fun to write. :)

You know how much I really love your world building! So having an entire story and hints at how one of the Old Religion's holy days works in this chapter is a real treat!!! As always, I can't wait to see more of how their religion works in this universe! Plus, seeing the difference between the Old Religion understanding their myths as being more metaphorical vs the Christians' literal understanding is wonderful!

I don't like when Morgana and Morgause have a falling out!!! It makes me sad! :( But getting to have them make up is adorable and comforting, so I suppose it's allowable :P

MITHIAN!!!!!! I really love how you have her interacting with Morgana and Uther. I can see her becoming a fantastic ally to Morgana as things start becoming more ... interesting with Uther.

And thank you for giving me something to do while I'm stuck with family on Christmas <3

Thank you! I enjoy the world building. I also think the older the religion, the wiser its followers are likely to be, because they have had more time to study it. But that also depends on the nature of the religion, as a religion which prevents questioning of 'canon' won't grow.

They have to fall out some times! Otherwise it would be boring!

I REALLY love writing Mithian. She is wonderful and she will definitely have a larger role in the sequel. :)
